After a 1994 PhD titled Response-time approximations for multi-server polling models, with manufacturing applications at the Stanford University, she worked at the University of Michigan and the Washington University in St Louis before moving to the University of Auckland, rising to full professor.[1] From there she moved to the University of Melbourne as a full professor and Deputy Dean of the Melbourne Business School.[2]
